]]>Fairy and Swordsman v9 is here! As you can see, we now have a pretty new layout banner at the top. This version is more lively and vibrant in colour, and features Zhao Ling’er and Li Xiaoyao from Chinese Paladin Online 2.0 and Hu Ge and Liu Yifei from the Chinese Paladin drama.

Over the last month, I’ve been doing a lot of clean up on the site and also changed the navigation around to hopefully make it easier to use. We currently have 631 members in the fanlisting- that’s a pretty amazing effort :D Thanks very much to everyone who joined so far, it’s great to know the love is here to stay. If you’re a fan of the relationship between Zhao Ling’er and Li Xiaoyao from the game or drama, please consider joining the list. We do our best to keep this fansite alive, so we would really appreciate some input from you guys too! Feel free to leave us a comment with any feedback.

We also have a lot of new content related to the various aspects of Chinese Paladin. These entries can be access through the home page or on the sidebar:

Chaos Everywhere

In the Battle of Suo Yao Ta, Han Zhong Xi, the son of the Demon Overlord, dead by the hand of Li Xiao Yao, and the great army from the Demonic Realm participating in the battle was vanquished by the alliance formed by Xian Jian Sect, Piao Miao Peak, Xian Xia Sect, Lin Family Fortress and the great Ghostly army. Did the powerful Demons become extinct following this battle? The pugilistic world, having experienced countless great changes, could not believe it so readily. There were many rumours and endless legends among the martial world.
On the other hand, the Kitan force from the North was frequently rearranging their armies, and refining their strategies. It was obvious that they were preparing to move to the South. In addition to that, there was rampant corruption in the Imperial courts and State Offices of the Central Plains, causing the civilians to riot. Bandit dens sprouted like mushrooms. The commoners were suffering beyond description.

As for the country of Da Li, after losing Han Zhong Xi, Ah Nu needed to face the Central Plains and Iho forces. On top of that, an ambassador arrived from Xi Xia, making the situation go into a stalemate for her.

With the lands and martial world having an unhealthy situation, all the ambitious and righteous people and great martial artists experience and deeply feel these words: ‘Chaos cannot be changed, one can only save oneself’.

On the eve of the titanic forces clashing, within the loss and mix-up of order, the beings of the Six Realms could only concentrate on the method of survival. Although one cannot separate oneself from the brewing storm, one can still protect oneself and survive…

The Way of Changing Consciousness in the Six Realms

All living things, no matter Heaven, Earth, Human, Beast, Shura or Evil Ghost (referred to as the Six Mortals from here on), from the time of being born from chaos, are assigned to one of the three sides and six Ways. This is called ‘reincarnation’. Through reincarnation, one shall know of destruction, the cycle and creation.
The Six Mortals are differentiated by the Four Sages, meaning if one can be born and die as a godly consciousness repeatedly, one can be released from reincarnation. All beings of the Six Mortals wish to be born as a godly consciousness, and thereby attaining a higher level of cultivation every life.
There are even those who are more refined than their past lives, and end ranked among the Four Sages.

The Reason The Destiny Cannot be Ended Easily

‘Ling Er!~~’
Cold white waves whipped the lands, emotionless as they covered and swallowed in every direction. The youth’s screams were all drowned in the wave-covered air. He was even cruelly prevented from hearing himself.
When silence settled, the broken lands far away appeared scorched by heavenly flames, barren as they could be. The youth shouted with a parched voice. His shouts hanged in the air, as if everything was a silent show put on for the Heavens.

When those sad, heartbreaking, and angry feelings froze at that moment, the youth’s mind was liberated…

Li Xiao Yao stared at the darkness before his eyes, wiped his forehead with his hand, and only felt cold sweat.
The sight had repeated itself endless times in his dreams for the past sixteen years; but every time he woke up, he would still feel heart-wrenching pain.
He stood up, lit a small candle, and turned to look at his bed. He should have seen his wife sitting there, worried, but the bed was empty! Taking the candle, Li Xiao Yao was walking out of his room when there came a female’s shout of surprise.

‘Aiya~~~~’
Li Xiao Yao rushed out of his room, and ran in the direction of the sound. Lin Family Fortress lit up in an instant, and voices rang throughout. Li Xiao Yao, hearing the noise, rushed to his daughter’s room. There, he saw his wife sitting by the bed. She turned to look at him, her face filled with grief and fear.

‘Big brother Han… Big brother Han…’ Yi Ru, who was on the bed, mumbled unconsciously.
‘Xiao Yao, come and look, quick…’ Lin yue Ru exclaimed helplessly.
Li Xiao Yao walked near to the bed’s side, and his wife lifted the corner of his daughter’s blanket, revealing her left ankle. Li Xiao Yao put the candle closer. and saw under candlelight that there was something on his daughter’s ankle. The skin of the ankle was covered in scales… snake scales!
Boom! Li Xiao Yao and his wife turned their heads at the loud sound, and saw Lin Tian Nan striding through the door…

Since Pang Gu created the sky and lands, his stamina, breath and consciousness became the ‘Three Kings’ (namely Fu Yi, Shen Nong and Nu Wa). The ‘Three Kings’ created three kinds of living beings: god, man and beast. The spiritual power that was originally in Pang Gu body separated into the Five Elements: Water, Fire, Lightning, Wind, and Earth; and was spread throughout the sky and lands.
After many battles and under the influence of the Five Elements, the whole world was split into the Six Realms: Godly, Demon, Fairy, Evil Spirit, Human, and Ghostly. Gods and Demons are positive and negative sides respectively; and ghosts are the end of living beings, and beginning of birth.

One will not age or die in the Godly Realm; there is no birth or death in the Demon Realm; Ghosts are not alive nor dead. Under the scrutiny of these three realms are the living realms, namely Human, Evil Spirit and Fairy. Fairies are those on the path to become Gods, and what Humans aspire to be; Evil Spirits are those cultivating to become Demons, and highly spiritual beasts. Humans detest Evil Spirits; and the conflict between the two races have never stopped for a minute.
In these chaotic realms, the existing beings spin endless tales of love, hate, gratitude and revenge. These tales spread among the future generations…

What I find slightly disappointing about this new image is that there is another version of Li Xiaoyao with Yueru- whereby Xiaoyao is exactly the same. It would be great to see some more images where it’s unique to a specific pairing. Having said that this new image is still very pretty looking *sigh* I hope they’ll be releasing more!

]]>Happy New Year everyone! In about a weeks time it’ll also be Chinese New Year of the Ox!

Wow, so 2009 is here… which means this fansite has been around for 3 years already! Although updates can be a little slow with me having less content to put up (the series has been around for 5 years already!), I will still continue to do so when I can =) This site will never go, as is my love for Li Xiaoyao and Zhao Ling’er, so please do revist time to time and contribute anything you can. I would really appreciate it! I was also contemplating on a new layout since I’ve had this up for such a long time, but it’s still my personal favourite so far ^^;

We have also obtained another high quality resolution artwork of Li Xiaoyao and Zhao Ling’er from the mmorpg, which can be found in the Offical Artwork page. I’ve also added a fanart I’ve drawn of Zhao Ling’er from the game.

Here’s a new promotional artwork of Zhao Ling’er released for Chinese Paladin Online (MMORPG)

A new artwork of Li Yi Ru from CHINESE PALADIN ONLINE is also now up on the site, on Yi Ru’s page.

4 May 2008: The fanlisting has reached OVER 500 MEMBERS! =D This is a huge achievement and it makes me really happy we’ve reached this far! Thank you to all those who have joined so far and supported this site. Our next aim is 1000 members! ^_^

]]>There has been a new official image of Zhao Ling’er and Li Xiaoyao released in promotion for “Chinese Paladin Online”, a mmorpg on this year summer. It seems the game revolves around new characters. This game will be in Chinese (like the other sequels), and whether there will be any English releases is questionable.

It is announced that Xian Jian Qi Xia Zhuan IV is in the making!

Xian Jian Ke Zhan (Inn) spin-off game now has a new cover image in its packaging.

]]>A short trailer has been released for [Chinese Paladin Online]. The background music all come from the Classic Xian Jian 1 game, and features Li Xiaoyao, Zhao Ling’er, Li Yi Ru and Lin Yue Ru. It seems a few years have passed since Xian Jian II and Yi Ru has grown into a beautiful lady. Don’t miss out this trailer!

“In the display of TaiBei Electronic maker Softstar, (XianJian Online)’s display area was definitely the focus point of game players and the media. Even though the game wasn’t shown, reporters still received a brief description of the software through the head manager’s assistant, Mr. Huang of Softstar. (XianJian Online) is the net version of the single machine game (Xian Jian Qi Xia Zhuan) released by Softstar in 1995. (Xian Jian Qi Xia Zhuan) in the history of PC single machine Domain had no earlier influence which gave a more special place in the hearts of game players of China. Even though PC games were not very commonly played in 1995, (Xian Jian Qi Xia Zhuan) had 180,000 copies sold, and Promotion took place in year 1999. Further, was made into a TV drama in 2005, and then showed globally where Chinese was a common language. (Xian Jian Online) since confirmed in 2002 till now, over 4 years of “long and hard waiting”, the promotion team members kept working hard to bring an original storyline and style for the new global web game (Xian Jian Qi Xia Zhuan)The background of the game is Li XiaoYao’s world of Xian Jian as a main theme. But being a MMORPG and not a single machine game, players on will have many difference characters and not just Li XiaoYao, Zhao Ling’er and their offspring. Players will create their on characters of their own style and mode, while the main characters of the game will be NPC, Players will find their footsteps through the game’s adventures. There are 6 categories for the Player’s created characters; they are Lian Qi Shi (meaning Air practising men) Jian Shi (Swordsmen) Wu Ling Shi (Five soul men), Ling She Dao Ke (Spirit snake knife men), Die Yi Wu Zhe (Butterfly dance people), Ling Hu Ye Dao (Spirit fox night thief) and etc. Air practising men uses Judo to move the air in fights, Five-soul men controls water/fire/thunder/wind and ground in fights, Butterfly dance people use auxiliary.

Mr. Huang described, as of now the range of spread is around 70%, now Da Yu is continuously doing tests and play to release from July to August of this coming summer, it’s a good time to release beta inside testing.

In the display, there weren’t any other information other than Game’s visual demonstration. But through these visuals, we can be sure to say that it did continue (Xian Jian Qi Xia Zhuan)’s original scenes and game world view, in the game info, the designs was kept the same as it was when it was a single machine game. However, we can really tell that is special and have worthy attractions, hope the release date can come soon.

Another more shocking thing is the Xian Jian OL’s beautiful visual, it introduced XianJian OL’s many important points, the curtain to this awaited game is opened.

In the visual, occupations, geographic and many other important things were introduced. The last scene consisted of Xian Jian Qi Xia Zhuan’s lead male Li XiaoYao’s daughter, Li Yi Ru. In Xian Jian Qi Xia Zhuan, young Yi Ru and friends together eliminated the rebelliousness of the lead’s antagonist [Mo Zun], in the short visual, a grown a Yi Ru faces Mo Zun’s sun, HanZhongZhe, hinting to Fans the attraction of this new story plotline.”

We are introduced to 6 new character profiles in [Chinese Paladin Online], however, the original characters (Xiao Yao, Ling’er etc) will all only be casted as Non-Playable Characters (NPC) which is a disappointment to many fans of the original.

]]>15 February 2007: A much higher quality version of the new artwork has been added! This image is much clearer and you can see Ling’er has tears in her eyes, so pretty! This is actually one of the most romantic pictures of this couple officially released. This has been added to the Official Artwork section.

14 February 2007: I’ve added pictures of Xian Jian II game images into the Eye Candy section. Yes, Ling’er is featured in Xian Jian 2! Find out more by visiting the link =) I’ve also added a new Music Video of Xian Jian Game (XP version) about Xiao Yao missing Ling’er. This was created in 2004, and was obtained from our affiliate Zhao Ling’er.org. I have uploaded this MV here on this fansite for you to download. It’s really a nice MV for fans of the game. I’ve also cleaned up the MV page and removed all dead links.

11 February 2007: Added 4 new official artwork as well as a new page on Li Yi Ru, Xiao Yao and Ling’er’s daughter :) Personally, I haven’t played the Sequels to Xian Jian so I’m not 100% sure about the story; but with the help of members from the forum I was able to compile things. Hope you enjoy it! If there’s anything you think should be included, please let me know!

10 February 2007: I’ve added more detail to the profiles of the actors, and hope to write up more information for them. 4 new images were added to the [Photos] section, 2 in the behind the Scene. I’ve added a new page in the [Devotion] section to include behind the scene footages (from youtube.com) As promised yesterday, I have put up pictures of Hu Ge and Liu Yi Fei together at various functions. I’ve also created another artwork of the couple. Both can be found under [Eye Candy].

9 February 2007: Double Update! I’ve created a new informative page on the Myth of Nu Wa! Thats right, new screencaptures and written content =) It took me a while to write up, so make sure to check it out. If there’s anything that needs correcting, please let me know. Enjoy!

9 February 2007: I did some cleaning around the site, such as touching up images in the [About] page, re-writing content and updating the FAQ page. I’ve still got some pictures of Liu Yi Fei and Hu Ge at various award ceremonies, I’ll post them up next time.

8 February 2007: Version 6 layout is up! I hope you all like this layout because it’s my personal favourite so far =) It’s also the first layout that’s centered! The images used on the layout can be found in this site, however- I have touched them up so they look higher quality.

1 February 2007: Hi everyone! Not much happening in the world of Chinese Paladin, however I have uploaded a new mp3 of the themesong for PAL (The Game). Note: This song is NOT the themesong for Chinese Paladin DRAMA. There is one main music played in PAL Game and this download has a vocal! The source of this is unknown… I assume it is fanmade but someone correct me if I’m wrong. It’s a nice slow song and the music definately reminds you of the game. Fans of PAL GAME, you don’t want to miss out! To download, visit the Songs Section!
